What will the visitation schedule be like?
The legislature has established what is called the “Standard Possession Order.” It is set forth in the Texas Family Code, and provides for the person who does not have the children living with him or her to have possession of the children on the 1st, 3rd and 5th weekends of each month, plus Wednesday evenings during the school year and a month in the summer. The extended possession adds pickup at school when school gets out before the weekend, and an overnight on Sunday and Wednesday nights. A couple can also agree to a different schedule, such as every other weekend, or one week with mom and the next with dad.
